Kindle Vs. Books

The great debate of all bookworms.

When it comes to reading, it's such a great hobby that can be done anywhere. It's a great way to unwind and take your mind to another place. And when it comes to technological takeover, we can even read with more ease.

Kindles and other reading tablets are a great idea. It gives us readers the chance to take books anywhere and everywhere with us without the bulk of five books in our bag, as well as giving endless space to store all the books you'd like to read.

As for me, I am still stuck between a good old fashion book or the new age Kindle. As a reader, I own both.

The thing about books is they are physically in your hands. You have the feeling of the pages in between your fingers, as well as the lovely smell books, seem to contain. I love the way my books look on a bookshelf, sort of a collection to show off your interests. Having the physical book is being able to lend it to someone, you can't lend someone a Kindle, well you could but you probably don't want to.

When it comes to Kindles and e-readers, we have this great opportunity to have millions of books at our fingertips. Instead of having to lug around books, we can fit so many into a six-ounce tablet, It's a simple but yet amazing machine that lets us bring stories anywhere we go as well as check our Facebook's, listen to Audible's, and take pictures.

When it comes to the two, I tend to lean more towards the favor of the trusty old book. There's no screen to stare at when I want to unwind and unplug. And nothing is more relaxing than reading a book in the bathtub and not worrying about dropping your Kindle in there!

I believe that when it comes to the two, it just depends what you prefer. And if you cannot decide, you can always be like me and bounce between the two because who said you had to just pick one!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
